Trains, guitars, tall guys

JP stopped by this evening to say hi. He had a great close to his year. On 12/31/03 Alcatel just signed Taiwan's biggest railway improvement deal. Not the hi-speed rail, but old fashioned ka-chunk ka-chunk trains where you see the tracks whiz by when you flush your poop. Anyway, the deal is a $27 million USD deal to install little electronic axle counters next to the tracks. WTF?!

So we're going to see Wu Bai at Plush on Monday to celebrate. It's funny to think that Wu Bai and I actually tried to start a band together way back then. One jazz saxophone, one Les Paul. No drummer. A few beers.

There was this really nice Aussie who came into the Living Room tonight, and he was 203cm tall. The girls here were like unnhhh uhhh guhhh, because I don't think they ever had to talk to a man's belly button before.

I had to answer some really dumb questions tonight.
"Why do you play that French CD?"
"Because I like it."
"But why do you play it."
"Because I like it."
"Oh."
